DAILY MANNA FOR TODAY
In our relationship with the Lord, we reach points where our zeal challenges us to go the extra mile to appreciate His immeasurable love. We have such touching stories in the Bible. King David had the opportunity to save a fortune by picking free materials to sacrifice to the Lord.
He turned down the offer, saying, he would not give to God what would cost him nothing. Hannah had been desperate to have a child. But when the male child came, she did not hesitate to release him to the Lord as she vowed. Peter and the other apostles left all to follow the Lord.
So it was with the children of Israel in the wilderness as they headed for the Promised Land. Although they complied with the law that demanded their regular tithes and offerings in cash or materials, they still placed themselves under a vow to express their consecration. They gave God their children, fields, cattle, houses, etc. The priests estimated their value to ensure they were fit for sanctuary use.
Our zeal and commitment as New Testament believers must go beyond the superficial routine of church attendance and ministerial functions. We must acknowledge God’s matchless goodness that we count on nothing, including our family, property, time, skills, and money, as He may require them when needed. And we must not attempt to take back what we give Him; He is the Owner of all that is ours. Our commitment and giving of ourselves and substances to God must dwarf the redeemable vows of the Old Testament believers. He left His glory above to pay the supreme price for our redemption, and we should be willing to lay all on the altar for His glory and service.
The churches in Macedonia demonstrated this virtue, “And this they did, not as we hoped, but first gave their own selves to the Lord, and unto us by the will of God” (2 Corinthians 8:5) Let us give our all to the Lord who first gave His all unto us, and we shall have no cause for regrets here and hereafter.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: We must go from just giving, to giving our best…to giving our all to the Lord.
